Reaching the 2,000 milestone was obviously the highlight of the night, but that wasn't Ortiz's entire night. In a September matchup between two of the AL's best, Big Papi was clutch, clubbing two home runs to accompany the RBI double. The home runs happened to be hits No. 1,999 and 2,001.

Ortiz has been enjoying a career revitalization of sorts at the age of 37. With his 3-for-5, four RBI performance in the team's historic eight-HR night, it brings Ortiz to 26 home runs in 117 games, to go with his .313 batting average.
